The Complete Devotional With Josh NormanNäide

Setting Your Mind on Things Above

Envision a hiker fixating on a distant mountain peak, their ultimate goal. Despite the rocky terrain and obstacles along the way, their focus on the peak keeps them motivated and on course. Similarly, setting our minds on things above—God’s promises, His character, and eternal truths—helps us maintain a godly perspective. It prevents us from getting bogged down by earthly concerns and keeps our spiritual eyes fixed on the ultimate goal: a closer relationship with God and the hope of eternal life.

Practical Application: Reflect on what occupies your thoughts. Make a conscious effort to set your mind on things above, focusing on God's promises and eternal truths.
